 So who's going this year then?
|
 |
 Me...unfortunately...I did 4 laps of penhydd this weekend and was 'bonking' on the 5th (I had by that point run out of water though. My goal now is a whopping 10 laps
|
|
 Me ... as one half of a 12hr pair 
|
|
Did you also have a blind moment of drunken retardation a few months ago?
|
|
LOL! No, even more foolishly I decided to do the same thing again at Bonty. I suspect my brain forgets the pain and just remembers finishing at midnight and having beers whilst the others are still out there.
|
|
Oh right I've gone in for 24hour solo like a right newbie twat
|
|
 Torchbearer Solo, whoop whoop! Done 100 mile road rides the last 2 Sundays, felt really good still this week, so hopefully won't die!
|
|
BHB, You'll be alright as long as you're realistic in how many laps you can do and pace yourself accordingly. Good luck, I'm impressed!

Cool, you can be pit-bitch whilst waiting for your start time

For the "does this tyre make my bum look big brigade" it's been unusually wet down here.
I'm not sure how Newnham reacts to rain but maybe another set of muddy tyres might be useful.

|
Oh also the missus has kindly lent me her Van for the weekend, it's got a big old awning on the side, so if anyone wanted to use that for storage of kit or as a bit of a base then feel free...just don't climb muddy into the bed for a power nap or she'll kill me
|
|
When you going Billy?
|
|
Sat am i believe...I'm doing 11pm shifts all this week, so I'm going to be knackered before I've even begun.
The missus will be coming on sunday morning for the last couple of hours and to drive me and my sorry ass home!
PS have you had anything from Bonty? I've just chased up the hospice and they're not much use...

There was an email last night - I'll send you a copy when I get home if you want?
|
|
That would be awesome Nobby.

10-4 rubber duck.
|
|
 Me and a few others are there,mixed category and up for a race unless it canes it down with rain in which case we'll be staying in the tent getting pissed.

Buying some 2.35" High Rollers probably wasn't a good idea then. I'll leave the Bonty Mud X's on ... and maybe bring the SS as well.

from what I gather 40psi 2.1's and less is the general endurance race way forward
